Dental Plans [1]

CU’s two 2026–27 Delta Dental plans â€” Essential Dental and Choice Dental — offer extensive coverage with affordable deductiblesDeductibleAn amount that you are required to pay before the plan will begin to reimburse for covered services. [2] and coinsurance paymentsCoinsuranceThe portion of expenses that you have to pay for certain covered services, calculated as a percentage. For example, if the coinsurance rate is 20%, then you are responsible for paying 20% of the bill, and the insurance company will pay 80%.  [3] to keep you and your family smiling bright. 

Regardless of which plan you enroll in, you will have the following coverage:

  • 100% preventive care coverage and four yearly cleanings (regular and periodontal)
  • Two yearly fluoride treatments (all ages)
  • Right Start 4 Kids Program [4]: Kids under age 13 who are enrolled receive 100% coverage, excluding orthodontic services.
